Germany imports more Oak lumber again. After declining figures in the first half of 2011, deliveries rose in August. The eight month period of January to August now show an increase of 4%. Higher White Oak deliveries from the U.S. and from Canada set off the trend reversal.

For the largest suppliers of Oak lumber, the following average prices can be calculated from the August figures: U.S. € 546/cbm (I-XII/2010: € 598/cbm), France € 598/cbm (674) Croatia € 663/cbm (646) and Ukraine € 434/cbm (532).
